How linking software helped solve some major CRIMPing

I love Bear. It has one of the best Markdown editor out there, but doesn’t much int he way of structuring/organizing notes hierarchically (the nested tags get clumsy fast). This lead to CRIMPing whenever I wanted to organize my notes visually or in a hierarchical manner.

I love Workflowy, and iThoughtsX, but their weak Markdown editing (you can get some MD capabilities in Workfloy w/ Chrome plugins) capabilities leave a lot of be desired. This lead to CRIMPing whenever the lack of MD features caused frustrations while editing nodes/notes.

To solve this, I split Bear and Workflowy/iThoughtsX on a single screen and just linked between the two. I org ideas w/ short headers in Workflowy/iThoughtsX and link to notes/details in Bear. It has worked almost seamlessly and has killed lots of frustration/CRIMPing w/o being too clunky.

I strongly recommend the MM/outliner + Bear combo on Mac!

Any simple software combinations like this that have cured some major CRIMPing for you?
